    Today is 14 days before the hearing date. Which is the date the judge gave as the latest to send documents to court and each other. So I've played my part. Zero from them though. Surprised? No, but does this give me an edge?

    Yes it does.

  • You can jump up and own about late service but unless it's so late that it prejudices you then a judge is unlikely to bat an eyelid.


    The evidence is supposed to be served on the same day so as not to give either of you an advantage in seeing the other's evidence before you complete your own. In other words, the evidence of one party is not supposed to "reply" to the evidence of the other party. They may do this to you. Again, you can jump up and down about it but the judge is unlikely to care.


    It may help in the bigger picture of showing unreasonable conduct - they start the case with a disregard of the Pre-Action Practice Direction, then conduct the case with a disregard for the CPR, in contempt of court orders and with no regard for the other party and their rights under the CPR and to a fair trial.

    Just received their witness statement dated 24th May. The court date is next Tuesday.

    I needed a laugh :) What's the best way of sharing this gem?

    So basic line is that Gladstones/UKCPM are attempting to mislead the court by falsely claiming the facsimile sign is the same sign as the one on the pole.

    Doesn't take much to show they are lying.

    Suggest you send them an email to UKCPM saying that you intend to ask for an adjournment so that someone from UKCPM can come along and explain the discrepancy between the facsimile and the photo.

    I'm trying to work out what's going on with that first sign. It has brickwork behind it but is in shadow of another sign on a lamp post. Also, the 'V' BAYS: MAX STAY 4HRS' text looks very suspect and not something I've ever seen on a sign around the estate.

    I got a voicemail from the court saying I've been double booked. I'll find out tomorrow if they're going to relist :(

    The pic is their evidence. If there is uncertainty then the judge has to make a "balance of probabilities" decision. You don't want that so you ask the court to get UKCPM and come to explain it or produce clearer pictures.

    Put the pressure on the Claimant rather than you have to defend against a vague picture of dubious content. (Hint: They do this all the time which is why they put these facsimile in with PCM being the worst culprit.)
